Hamsterley Forest

Off there Saturday on trail bikes - what should we ride? The red, the red and bits of the black? all the black? Any suggestions welcome except we won't be riding 'off-piste' stuff as don't have time to get lost.

Asherh I agree some of the red is dull but it takes you to transmission and accelerator and nitrous which is awesome, if you know the area then You can cut out the fire roads but if you don't then I'm afraid you may have to bite the
Bullet

A mixture of red and black, leaving off the dull bit of the red at the far end of the forest. Have a look at the forest map and see where you can lop this off with fireroads and arrive at transmission etc.

That's the route for skipping to the beginning of Transmission-Accelerator-Nitrous. Which is the best bit of that red route. You can then spend the saved time playing on the downhill track and the other little bits of black there are around.

This is my combination of the red and black (done yesterday). No major damage to the trails from last week's storm (although you can see the remains of a pretty big tree on the road climb up to Section 13 that came down and destroyed a wall).
